Arne Jacobsen conceived his AJ Lighting Collection (1960) to echo the oblique angles of his Series 3300 furniture, which included the Egg™ Chair and Swan™ Chair. Like those pieces, this lighting collection was designed by Jacobsen for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, along with all its other elements – from the skyscraper structure to the stainless steel cutlery. Enjoy the Jacobsen aesthetic alfresco with his outdoor sconce, marked by its classic profile. This striking sconce employs 50 high-efficiency, long-lasting LEDs to project uniform light while saving energy and providing years of operation. UL Listed for use outdoors. Made in Denmark.

Arne Jacobsen bought a plywood chair designed by Charles Eames and installed it in his own studio, where it inspired one of the most commercially successful chair models in design history. The three-legged Ant chair (1951) sold in millions and is considered a classic today. It consists of two simple elements: tubular steel legs and a springy seat and back formed out of a continuous piece of plywood in a range of vivid colors.

Jacobsen began training as a mason before studying at the Royal Danish Academy of Arts, Copenhagen where he won a silver medal for a chair that was then exhibited at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Art Decoratifs in Paris. Influenced by Le Corbusier, Gunnar Asplund and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Jacobsen embraced a functionalist approach from the outset. He was among the first to introduce modernist ideas to Denmark and create industrial furniture that built upon on its craft-based design heritage. Read more >
